I forget if your KV-2 is a battler! Does that monster roll?

Mines still waiting for the SLU :P

I have the hatch here for my KV-2, I just never got around to installing it... it'd only be for cosmetics, do you already have a hatch of your own? I don't really need mine :P

If you can manage to fit a speaker box in the front, you'll get excellent sound out of a KV. I have a Tamiya standard speaker and it's amazingly crisp and LOUD with the Clark.

Also, Cobra Commander logo, nice

She's a beauty.

That's some seriously impressive lettering, especially considering it's hand painted.

Are the MGs independent or do they fire together?
